Umm, no. As I hold to the idea that the South was a soverign nation, I don’t see my ancestors as being insurgents, since they didn’t rebel against their native soverign State.

Of course some did!
In Eastern Tennessee, Western Virginia, Kentucky, Missiouri, western North Carolina -- just about every Southern state included large numbers who "rebelled" against their native state's secession from the Union.

And how were these Southern "rebels" and "insurgents" treated by the Confederacy?

That's right.
